Railway experience on the railway hiking trail

From the Kandersteg station, follow the railway embankment downstream and reach the magnificent Kander riverside path to Büel. Above the impressive road loops, the path once again runs along the railway line, which soon disappears into a tunnel. With gentle ups and downs, it continues through forest and over mountain meadows downstream to the house Uf der Flue. Magnificent views back to the Kandersteg mountain world and northwards to Felsenburg, the Mitholz railway loop, and into the Kander valley. Over another tunnel roof, one descends on a good forest path to the ruins of Felsenburg and the Blausee-Mitholz service station. On the valley side, follow the tracks at a medium elevation, mostly through forest. At railway bridges, the path sometimes makes a loop into the spanned ditch. Forest clearings allow beautiful views of the steep rock face on the Elsighorn and the valley end. The very steep descent into the valley follows an almost vertical cliff band on well-secured grated stairs. Along the railway line, it then goes to the church of Kandergrund. At Hotel Altels, cross the cantonal road and switch to the other side of the valley. On the paved little road, it goes through the valley floor to Zrydbrücke and further to Rybrügg. A short ascent leads to the ruins of Tellenburg. From the tower, enjoy a nice view of the entire Kander valley. At the same elevation, bypass the wood lying westwards, arrive via Brunni at the hamlet Tellenfeld and continue to the Frutigen station.
